Watch Chris Hemsworth Patch Up His Stunt Double After 'Extraction' Injury

After unveiling the "bulletproof" body that he has been building in preparation for filming action sequel Extraction 2, Chris Hemsworth is now in rehearsals for the movie's hi-octane stunts alongside his friend and stunt double Bobby Holland Hanton—and if the first film was any indication, it won't be long before things get rough.

In a "throwback" TikTok video which he also shared on Instagram to celebrate Extraction winning big at the Taurus World Stunt Awards, Hanton revealed that an on-set incident led to him scraping "16 layers of skin" off his arm. "I think it was 16 layers," he says in the caption. "Could have only been 2 but who's counting."

Fortunately, Hemsworth was on hand to administer first aid, and soon enough he said he was ready to go again, to which the actor replied that he was looking forward to "throwing him down some stairs again."

Working closely with Hemsworth has presented its share of previous challenges for Hanton: the actor has packed on more muscle than ever before over the last year, and his body double has joked that keeping up with these extreme gains has not been easy.

"I text him and I'm like, thanks very much dude, this is going to be even harder this time," he said in February. "He's now the biggest he's ever been, and now I need to be the biggest I've ever been... Every two hours we're eating. It's become a chore. I don't enjoy eating anymore."
